Looking to get into racing

Airienteer

Hey. I've been riding recreationally about 4 times a week and have built up a fairly decent fitness base. I'm looking to try out a race but find the BC Website really confusing. Can anyone recommend a race near the Yorkshrie area that would be good for a beginner. Also, what category should I enter?? Thanks

P.S. I'm guessing I would look out of place in my trail baggies :roll:

+1 for Brownbacks . Right now its based in Lee Quarry, shouldn't be too far from you.

Don't worry much about the clothing, I was wearing baggy shorts, pisspot and some random t shirt I found in my room, and managed to finish the race alive

There are three categories: Racer, Weekend Warrior and Have-A-Go-Hero. pretty simple!
